These are my favorite documentary films which are available Online. It takes so much time to make movies, and I have recently fallen behind. In film making, you never regret the films you made. It's the regret for those you didn't make. It is really capturing the life, and views of another human being. I really think the personalities you film all become part of you, and you live life playing their role to fill their empty space.
So many lives has been lost for telling the truth in documentary movies. One notable example is in East Timor, where the journalists reporting the Indonesian massacre of its indigenous people were brutally killed.
This is not about them. It’s the consciousness of humanity as a whole to rescue itself from tyranny, and betrayal. Our humanity could not bare the sight of watching another in destitute, and in psychological shackles of serving an autocrat. So we educate the sheep, to rescue them from the wolf. This is an internal conflict in all humanity. While we sweat in saving the sheep, we learn the secret of saving our own soul. I picked the sheep metaphorically. Human beings take far more effort; Mother Teresa says: "Just try to save one".
